comment

Drink clean water regularly throughout the day — even when you do not feel like it
If a person is vomiting or has watery stool, give the person water that contains a small amount of salt and sugar
Give elderly people clean water to drink often — they may not ask for it, but they need it
Check your urine — if it is yellow or little in amount, the body needs more water
Dehydration is not a disease on its own, but it is a condition that happens when the body experiences a reduced amount of water. It can lead to further health issues if the reduced amount of water in the body is not replaced for a long while.
